Prose Integral to the Work
Once upon a Carboniferous Period time
the COMPRESSEDSHELLSBONES of billions of sea creatures
made the sea bed, now
raised high in the sky
by gargantuan planetary forces
a millimeter a year
for millions of years.
I sit upon this ancient gray graveyard
contemplating eternity while
eating a Milky Way

In a media chock-full of gratuitous violence, portrayed and promoted via computer games,TV ads, news, the press & film; gangsta rap culture and glorification of ill-gotten bling…
In a nation more class-divided than any other on earth and more than ever partitioned between haves & nots; where in the workplace impassable glass ceilings are the norm, where opportunity and promotion based on a very specific – yet unmentionable for fear of being branded a fascist – racial nepotism; on privilege or birth rather than on talent and ability… is absolutely widespread. ( And you wonder why there are so few watchable new programmes on TV these days?)…
In such a severely dysfunctional and disjointed culture, is this sick new “loot-til-you-drop” perversion – and some might argue rather logical progression of much-lauded ruthless entrepreneurism and blind worship of everyone-for-themselves narrow materialism – really any great wonder?
